CNET. com has an online article titled Apple approves 'Baby Shaker' for App Store where you can read all about it.
According to the article;
If you needed any further proof that Apple's App Store approval process is horrifyingly out of whack, consider one of the latest additions to the App Store: Baby Shaker.
A company called Sikalosoft is currently selling a $0.99 iPhone application called Baby Shaker, as of Monday. The object of Baby Shaker is to stop the incessant crying of an infant pictured on screen by violently shaking the iPhone, at which point two red "x" marks appear over the baby's eyes. "See how long you can endure his or her adorable cries before you just have to find a way to quiet the baby down!" reads the sales pitch for Baby Shaker.
This made me think about the sense of humor that some people have, or in this case don't have. This is not humor, it is just wrong.
Which led me to the web site Dont Shake a Baby.com, which is devoted to stopping this kind of child abuse.
Child abuse has been the leading cause of death to children admitted to The Children's Hospital trauma service every year since 2003. A significant majority of the children who died exhibited signs of Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS). SBS is a serious brain injury that occurs when an infant or toddler is violently shaken. Shaking a baby can cause severe brain damage, blindness, learning problems, seizure disorders, cerebral palsy, paralysis, and even death.calming your baby resources
